I know they put it out again but without the steel marble that give my parents Black and White Television a black eye I tossed to someone to put it back on the board and they missed it and the marble hit the television picture tube and chipped the glass it looked like the tv had a black eye it was a big console in the living room my parents had it till color tv was invented and my Dad wasn't convinced that color tvs were worth paying extra for back then when most of the shows were only in black and white

At first glance, I thought that was a ping pong table net holder.

When I was a kid, my dad was always buying things that he thought were cool. One time in the mid 1960s, he bought a gas powered airplane and took us to the local airport parking lot and started to fly it there and nobody said anything. Imagine doing that today!

Still have a buttonholer complete with the turquoise blue case as shown! (and the sewing machine it attaches to)

When I think of the number of these that my dad and his friends cut up to make race cars.
Besides the usual Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Pontiac, he also ran Hudson, Henry J, Studebaker, Willys, and probably others I can't remember.
Made Renault Dauphines into wheelie cars. Unbolted the front end and wrapped some sheet metal around the front. Added wheelie bars, a bigger carburetor, and split rear wheel brakes like tractors and these could go the whole quarter mile with the front wheels lifted.

I had one of those way after they weren't made anymore, because I had an even older TV & it allowed me to hook up cable.
they were both so outdated at the time that people always commented on them.

Haha... when I saw the first pic above, I thought the 10-in-1 scope would be rather large and made of some type of metal.
I was surprised to see the subsequent pics. The thing is tiny and made of plastic!
I guess the price should have tipped me off...

These are actually still available under a different name now. I bought one for my son at the Special Operations Museum gift shop in Fayetteville, NC. You can also find similar iems online.
